Constance Moody , LPC

Constance Moody is a licensed professional counselor with roughly 20 years of clinical experience who approaches her work with respect and compassion. As an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor - she has developed a broad skill set working with many different populations and brings particular depth in the field of addiction, including substance use, alcohol, food-related concerns, and work-related addictions.

In addition to addiction work, she has substantial experience treating mood disorders and personality disorders, and she tailors care to the needs of each individual. Constance favors evidence-informed, skills-based work and emphasizes practical strategies clients can use day to day. Her preferred approach is cognitive behavioral therapy, which she values for its focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques and has found DBT especially valuable in group settings. A core part of her practice is teaching clients tools they can continue to use independently, helping them build lasting skills to better manage emotions, behaviors, and life stressors.

Practical approaches for online therapy with CBT and DBT

Constance Moody often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and elements of dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying the thoughts and beliefs that shape feelings and behaviors, and then developing concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns - an approach often used for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. Dialectical behavior therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and can be particularly useful in group-format learning and for people navigating intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Constance works with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and needs, and together they determine which methods or combination of methods will fit best. The aim is to build practical skills that clients can use beyond sessions.

Online therapy provides flexible options for care, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats can make it easier to attend regular sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and they support continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT techniques effectively across these online modalities to help clients practice skills in real life.
